Using pumped storage power stations for Ireland’s wind resources looks like a really good idea. The Spirit of Ireland website has the details.
According to them, all we need is about 2,500 3MW (covering about 1% of land area) wind turbines and 2 large pumped storage hydro systems to cover all Ireland’s current electricity requirements. Not bad if you ask me! I hope they get the momentum to inspire the government into doing something.
